|
||
<P>The specification of the <I>stackaddr</I> attribute presents
|
||
several ambiguities that make portable use of these interfaces
|
||
impossible. The description of the single address parameter as a
|
||
"stack" does not specify a particular relationship between
|
||
the address and the "stack" implied by that address. For
|
||
example, the address may be taken as the low memory address of a
|
||
buffer intended for use as a stack, or it may be taken as the address
|
||
to be used as the initial stack pointer register value for the new
|
||
thread. These two are not the same except for a machine on which the
|
||
stack grows "up" from low memory to high, and on which a
|
||
"push" operation first stores the value in memory and then
|
||
increments the stack pointer register. Further, on a machine where
|
||
the stack grows "down" from high memory to low,
|
||
interpretation of the address as the "low memory" address
|
||
requires a determination of the intended size of the stack.
|
||
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 has introduced the new interfaces
|
||
<A HREF="pthread_attr_setstack.html"><B>pthread_attr_setstack</B>(3)</A>
|
||
and <A HREF="pthread_attr_getstack.html"><B>pthread_attr_getstack</B>(3)</A>
|
||
to resolve these ambiguities.
